(Beever's Babes vs Black Eagle Boxing trialist)
(39-32, 30 KO vs 2-0, 2 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: There's no stopping Alesha Dixon from booking more fights these days and the veteran BBU favorite has turned her attentions to some of the less experienced opponents who actually carry a huge upside according to the media buzz. Sophia Thomalla kicked the door on her way in having defeated former champions Jessica Schwarz and Clara Morgane last month and apparently Alesha simply didn't enjoy the new girl in town making so much noise. She's trying to spoil the Herbert twins' rise up the ladder but not before teaching the German actress a brutal lesson on the Crossover Preview card tonight.

Meanwhile Sophia is well on her way to join the Black Eagles having sampled the official paperwork last month but adding another high-profile scalp like Dixon might force Gina Wild 's hand to make the 30-year old stunner the highest-paid rookie in BBU history! Sophia carries kickboxing experience from her pre-acting career days and is not to be taken lightly which probably escapes Alesha's attention as the British singer vows to "blow the German cow up like she really deserves it!". Sophia dismisses the chatter with a cheeky smile on her face while Gina Wild urges her to "not mess around with this overrated bimbo and simply destroy her until she begs you to stop!"

Alesha Dixon wears a black one-piece swimsuit & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Sophia Thomalla wears a red one-piece swimsuit with black trim & golden gloves. Long dark brown hair with a blonde dye tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Alesha roars into some early jabbing assault that Sophia blocks off with relative ease at first but she has a hard time shaking off the Brit down the stretch as Dixon simply jumps on the head-hunting assault and tries to impose her presence through sheer aggression. She barks in her efforts and manages to stick some meaningful leather into the German's face but gets stopped in her track when Thomalla nails her across the boobs and drops several crisp harpoons into her midsection thereafter. She clobbers the singer into a standstill during the second minute and only then begins to stack up punches into her face which rock Dixon's head back & forth amid some loud spasms. Ugh! Sophia carries a lot of power and wastes no time in rallying back to the point she pounds the older woman onto the ropes where she keeps splitting her high guard before blasting her on the mouth from both flanks. This is too much heat for the British veteran who disappears behind a tight earmuff but she can't really stop Sophia from landing all these monster strikes straight into her face!

Round 2:
Alesha jumps into another hectic attack but she skims off Sophia's forearms and gets spun backwards when the German responds with a thumping left/right combo that nails the singer on the lips. Ugh! Alesha slumps back to the side and has to bail out in a hurry as Sophia taunts her from picking her off on the fly. Alesha weaves around on her feet but runs out of real estate fast and sags on the ropes while Thomalla maintains the overhand pounce and tears a small gash over the left eye come the half-way mark. Dixon triggers a slugging response but the younger rival has her measure here and drops the singer into loud spasms with a late body assault that digs deep into her midsection. Alesha folds forward and clinches the German foe, Sophia almost knees her in the stomach in muay thai fashion but gathers her thoughts at the last second and only nails the ailing Brit across the mouth before plugging more menacing leather into the boobs; Dixon slumps against the turnbuckle with a loud whimper while Sophia refuses to pounce on her with more strikes and walks back to her corner with five seconds still left on the clock. Huh! Gina Wild tries not to blow her fuse in the Black Eagles corner but one bitchy staredown from Sophia and she knows the actress probably knows best what she's doing here.

Round 3:
It seems like Alesha has lost some of her aggression but she bravely engages in another slugging dispute which quickly turns sour for the BBU veteran. Sophia outworks her in close range and begins to stack up punches straight up the middle which glues the singer on the spot. Alesha struggles to weave around from the German's attacks and stumbles to the side as Thomalla adds more juice and pummels the singer's lips into a swollen mess come the one-minute mark. Sophia refuses to pound the wilting Dixon onto the ropes and seemingly enjoys her performance as she taunts the singer verbally before blasting her on the cheeks again. Alesha chokes on some tears are she gets her face bashed in and simply drops back to hug the ropes in wake of the German's punches alone. She applies the desperate earmuff and Sophia switches low to test the ab muscles as Dixon folds forward and tries to clinch her nemesis. She fails to lock a proper hold though and bends into more spasms as Sophia drills her tummy for majority of the final minute. Ugh! It's a miracle Alesha is still standing here but she almost goes down when she turns back to her corner and that's one rattled veteran out there while Sophia checks out her mitts for blood stains during the interval.

Round 4:
Alesha lands the first overhand on target but then eats a faceful of leather as Sophia finally show full desire to bludgeon her and rips several nasty punches into the older woman's face until the singer's nostrils give up and begin to leak the red liquor. Ugh! Sophia gets even more aggressive when she notices the blood spillage and keeps landing one more punch after another until Dixon simply can't take it anymore and SLIDES ONTO HER KNEES with a loud painful shriek. Uh-oh! She wipes the blood off her face but quickly realizes how bad it looks and bends her head against the canvas while the ref issues a rather slowish count to perhaps save some of that British pride. Alesha refuses to go away here and gets up to undergo a medical evaluation while the German entourage wants this fight to be stopped outright. Nope, that won't happen and Alesha's been patched up to give it another try. However Thomalla launches immediate head-hunting blitz to beat the wounded singer for every punch and there's more blood leaking from the damaged nose come the second minute; Alesha gets stuck on her heels and can't do anything about Sophia blasting her from both flanks until her screams are getting too disturbing even for the British fans who get to witness a proper shellacking of the living BBU legend. Alesha gives up the ghost and drops her gloves so the German actress that SMOKE her with one last combo on the nose that simply knocks Dixon out of her senses while still upright...  AND DOWN SHE GOES!!! Alesha collapses flat on her back with eyes closed and she's been brutalized to the extreme here! Ref doesn't even bother with the count and signals for the medical crew to enter the ring as Sophia struts away to Gina Wild with her mitts soaking with all the blood she punched out of her victim! KO4 Sophia Thomalla!!!

AFTER: Huh! Sophia rests against the ropes and dwells on the negative response from the Royal Albert Hall audience while Alesha's lifeless body is put on a stretcher and taken back to the locker room. She's gonna feel very sore for the next few days for sure but Beevers' coach Denise Lewis claims there was no structural damage done to her fighter's nose: "Yeah, Alesha took a beating but she'll be fine... probably next month though! We have to admit, this German cow can punch a ton! Guess we don't need Jessica Schwarz to make all that stupid noise? Whatever! Someone will eventually beat Sophia up... guess she's not going anywhere, huh?"

"That's right, Denise! The Eagles are ready to prey upon these ugly mugs again!", Gina Wild can't hide her excitement as she announces that Sophia has been granted the VIP contract with her stable which comes into effect at midnight. "Yeah, Jordan Carver will have to make some room! She told me she's ready to accept Sophia on the roster as long as she stays away from JMD! That can be easily arranged! Meanwhile we can focus on Elizabeth Gillies and hopefully that American s### is ready to feel some pain as well" (giggles).

Official Result: Sophia Thomalla def. Alesha Dixon KO4.
